Hypnosis for Pain
30 May 2008

Hypnosis has slowly gained acceptance for treatment of a number of conditions, particularly for various types of pain according to the Mayo Clinic. It has been shown to help relieve pain associated with childbirth, burn wounds, surgical operations, and dental procedures.

For people who can't take pain medications, it can be especially helpful. Other kinds of pain, such as chronic pain associated with tension headaches, cancer, irritable bowel syndrome, jaw joints, and nerves may be improved using hypnosis. Chronic pain, however, may require repeated sessions to be effective.

It's not clear exactly how hypnosis works. It is an altered state of consciousness, or trance, in which the patient has focused attention and has a heightened ability to respond to helpful suggestions.

Hypnotic states also occur naturally, such as when you are engrossed in a book, daydreaming, or performing a monotonous activity. To build a hypnotic state, a psychologist or psychiatrist explains the process and guides you to relax, let go of any fear, and focus on instructions.
